while im supprised they didnt even include the special weapons like the dengeki versions, other than paint and a card, these are very similar, although the semi-clear pieces are new colors so it would be hard to customize an original to look like this, but the cards would be easy to make with a printer, cardstock, and some sort of smooth cover

No matter how nice of a repaint it is, I would never pay double the amount, especially since the originals weren't ugly or anything...

not double the price, about $10 more

Oh, my bad. In that case I can sort of see why someone would go for these.
